We help artists reach their goals and their audience through consulting and coaching. We guide creatives through the business side of art. We offer many fee for service packages as well as meet and greets, free information and support groups.In May 2013 we organized a city-wide open call art show- ARTISTS Against Hunger Exhibit- with Moe Brooker, artist and former chairman of the Mayor's Commission of the Arts as the juror to benefit The Food Trust to address the hunger issue in our city. We have raised almost $3000 for The Food Trust with various art projects since 2012, over $2000 from this exhibition.In May 2014 we had our second annual ARTISTS Against Hunger Exhibit May 1- 4 at Da Vinci Art Alliance, juried by Moe Brooker, raising almost $4000 this year. In May 2016 we will have a small group pop-up ARTISTS Against Hunger Exhibit at Da Vinci Art Alliance to benefit The Food Trust.In 2020 we organized a drive to donate 200 pieces of art to the homeless who were receiving housing through SELF Inc. Their clients came to an art show and selected two pictures they liked and wanted.http://www.smARTbusinessconsulting.org

ARTsisters is a group of professional women visual artists who empower each other and the community through art.It is our belief that the collective energy generated, motivated and inspired by professional women artists creates synergy. We further believe that the numerous distractions and overwhelming responsibilities that our lives present tend to drain us if we stand alone. Therefore, our mission is to unite, support, share, encourage, critique and, sometimes, push our sisters when we cannot go it alone. http://www.ARTsisters.org

I have been combining art and charity since I became an artist. Each year I raise money for a different non-profit. A video by John Thornton tells about my 10 years at the Fringe. https://youtu.be/wcZn9VIuRU0
